From Ifeoma Ejiofor
The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu(CP) and his Enugu State counterpart, Mamman Bitus(CP) on Monday met to devise operational strategies aimed at proactively policing the two States.
The collaboration is in line with the enhanced policing guidelines of the Inspector-General of Police.
The meeting between the two CPs held at Anambra State Police Command Headquarters, Awka.
The commissioners identified the infiltration of criminals between the neighbouring States as a major security challenge requiring urgent intervention to address violent crimes and the activities of subversive criminal elements.
They pledged to collaborate, share intelligence, and pool operational resources to combat violent crimes at the borders and within their respective States.
The CPs also reiterated their commitment to decisively combat all forms of crime and criminality in both States, with the aim of ensuring maximum public security and safety.
They also warned criminals operating in the two States to either repent or be ready to face the full weight of the law.
The meeting was attended by the Deputy Commissioners of Police in charge of Operations and other officers from both Commands.
